Do 600 srad wheels fit k1 750 ?

Post by Polo »

Hi all,
As the title says does anybody know if the gsxr 600 srad wheels fit a k1 gsxr 750 ? Do they fit with/without any modification ? or not at all ?
All or any help greatly appreciated !! :)

Yes they will fit with a little work, new spacers etc, discs are the same so no problems there. Main question is why? the K series wheels are much lighter than SRAD wheels, and the wheels from a 750Y to K5 600K1 to K5 1000 K1 to K4 and SV1000 are all the same. The 1000 rear is 6 inch rather than 5.5 inch but will fit into a 750 swingarm with just the right spacers, The wheels are quite plentiful and not too expensive these days. I use K series wheels on a lot of my bike builds because they seem to fit most things with a bearing swap and are much much lighter than many wheels.

Hi Jam and thanks for the info !
The answer to why is a simple one ... i already have a gsxr 600 srad with a spare set of wheels, now i plan on selling the bike but was going to keep the wheels to use as spares (probably with wet tyres on) for my newly acquired k1 gsxr 750 track bike :)): if money wasn't a possible problem then i'd get the correct wheels but like i said i already own the srad wheels, do you think it will be noticibly different then running the srad wheels (only on a wet track and probably alot slower) ?
I suppose i could put them up for a swap ...... someone out there must want the older, heavier wheels for the newer lighter ones !? Mind you they have been repainted and havn't been on a bike since !! Hint hint :wink:

If you're only chucking a set of wets on them them you should be fine, but you will notice a difference when you swap them.
